M2 - Thu May 14, 7:56AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2c8ktj/convergence_and) has announced the addition of the "Convergence and Consolidation - The Inevitable Consequence of Digital Strategies" report to their offering. The UK communication industry is currently witnessing an unprecedented level of consolidation driven by converging technologies, as well as pressure on EBITDA margins, with key players increasingly showing a strong appetite for adjacent digital economy services. In the first DI paper, published in March 2014, Mobile Market Development picked up the early signs of such a trend when BT successfully moved into the digital content space. At the time we warned such a model could be replicated with an entry into the heart of the mobile market space. This is happening now, with BT set to become the largest convergent operator in the market and with other strong competitors emerging from unexpected places. Key Topics Covered: - Context - Analysis - Consolidation, Competition and Consumer Benefit - Implications for the UK Market - Research - Consolidation Trends & Impact on Investments and Pricing - Proposed Mergers and New Market Entrants - BT & EE - Three UK & O2 - Sky MVNO Entry - New IoT Players Companies Mentioned - Arbeiterkammer Wien - Arqiva - BT - Cable and Wireless - Deutsche Telekom - Dixons Carphone - EE - GSMA - Hutchison Whampoa - Liberty Global - MBNL venture - O2 - Orange - Sigfox - Sky - Skype - T-Mobile - Telefonica - Three UK - Virgin Media - Vodafone For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2c...rgence_and
